Torre dei Becci, Medieval tower house in San Gimignano, Italy.

Torre dei Becci is a 13th-century tower in San Gimignano, set against the old Arco dei Becci and overlooking both Via San Giovanni and Piazza della Cisterna. It has a square plan and is built of regular exposed stone blocks that become thinner filaretto masonry near the top. Rare slit openings pierce its main sides, and an adjoining palazzo is entered from Via degli Innocenti.

The tower was built by the Becci family in the 13th century when San Gimignano prospered as a stopping point on the Via Francigena pilgrimage route. The era was marked by merchant wealth and competition among noble families who displayed their power through these monumental residential structures.

The Becci were a merchant family who held important public offices during the golden age of the San Gimignano commune. The tower and the adjoining palazzo, entered from Via degli Innocenti, both date to the 13th century. The name Becci also survives in the Arco dei Becci, the old arch the tower stands against.

The tower rises at the junction of Via San Giovanni and Piazza della Cisterna, beside the old Arco dei Becci, so both streets give a clear view of its stone facade. The historic centre is pedestrian, and the tower is seen from outside only; no interior visit is possible.

The Becci were merchants who held important public offices during San Gimignano's golden age as a free commune. Their tower abuts the Arco dei Becci, an old gate arch, and its few openings are narrow slits rather than windows, a detail visible on the main sides.
